Episode 004 - The 9/11 Survivor: A Conversation with Ari Schonbrun - a podcast by Rabbi Ari Koretzky: Podcaster, Campus Rabbi and Curious Jew

ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Ari Schonbrun was on the 78th floor of Tower 1 in the World Trade Center, heading towards his Cantor Fitzgerald office on the 101st floor, on the morning of Tuesday, September 11th, 2001, when a blast shook the building and transformed his life. In this riveting discussion, Ari shares the story of his heroic efforts (my description!) on that morning, and what has changed for him in the years since. His book, Miracle and Fate on 78, published in 2011, outlines his story in great detail, and was the capstone of a years-long post-9/11 speaking odyssey. Having recently retired from Cantor, Ari now dedicates himself full-time to motivational speaking, writing and non-profit work.
